Issues DFS using net use from a remote location.

[Rene Parsieau]

I have a problem with Dfs using the net use command.

Dfs is running in a Domain environment and published in AD.

Scenario.

Home user needs access to their files at work, when I try connecting I get
"System error 86 has occured - The specified network password is not
correct"

example:
|------Dfs link--------| |---username-------| |-password-|
net use p: \\domain.net\common$ /u:***@domain.net password

What am I doing wrong? I've done this with the same example as above but
without using the Dfs link (using the server name instead) and it worked.

Is there a bug or a different way of mapping to a dfs link for a home user
that isn't part of the Domain.

Thanks

What happens if you try

net use p: \\domain.net\common$ /u:domain.net\tester password

If this still fails, then this user certainly don't have proper permissions
to this root. We can check on that as well. (Note: For a domain-based DFS
root with multiple root-servers, if you are setting some special permissions
on this DFS root the permissions need to be set on all root-servers not just
one)
